The problem I see with that is, that even a minimalistic base install 
installs things like sendmail, ppp, atm-stuff, g77 and so on.

I really think splitting the base in some sub-parts would it make much 
easier to do NO_SENDMAIL on my own. So I had to remove each not required 
file separately. That's no good solution.
